Jeffries Towers, Atlantic City, NJ

The ChallengeHUD and the residents of Jeffries Towers in Atlantic City, NJ were faced with serious waterproofing issues in many areas on the building’s concrete aggregate facade, parapet walls, and balconies. They wanted a coating that would not change the look of the building, so it had to be clear, and one that would waterproof the facade thereby stopping water infiltration into the building.

The SolutionThe ECI PlyoFlex system was chosen for its flexibility and waterproofing properties. Test patches were conducted on the building prior to the full application to ensure consistency of the product’s adhesion and transparency. After these tests were performed to the satisfaction of the owner and the architect, the project commenced. The PlyoFlex primer coat was applied to the entire building and was allowed to dry for 24 hours before the application of the PlyoFlex top coat. The PlyoFlex system was applied on over 150,000 square feet of exterior surfaces, providing the owner with a waterproof building for many years to come.
